Hi,
this is a note for others who might have the same issue and how it can be solved.
ESXi-Customizer v2.8.1 freezes on line 250 if ($basedepot = Add-EsxSoftwaredepot $vmwdepotURL) {. The issue has been reproducible on W10 with PowerCLI 12.5.0.19195797.
The only solution found was to completely remove PowerCLI and to reinstall it with install-module -name VMware.PowerCLI -force -SkipPublisherCheck. Actually it installs PowerCLI 12.6.0.19610541.
The sequence option .\ESXi-Customizer-PS-v.28.1.ps1 -ozip avoids #15.
